Storage Media

Because HPE offers a comprehensive data protection portfolio for Hybrid IT, it understands the requirements for current and next generation LTO Ultrium tape solutions. In particular, the importance of media reliability in providing a long term home for archive data, as well as a final safeguard against natural disasters, network or power outages, human error, or malicious acts. HPE TeraPack Media is designed to make certain that customers have the most reliable and automated tape storage solution available. Our approach places the emphasis on ongoing enhancements and features that simplify virtually all aspects of the media management process.

What's new

• LTO-8 support, with compressed capacity of 30 TB (12 TB native) and native transfer rate of 360 MB/s (1.3 TB/hr) using LTO-8 media.

Features

Reliable archival storage and restore

Only the highest quality media becomes HPE TeraPack Media. This makes certain you have the most reliable and worry?free data protection possible.

HPE TeraPack Media also undergoes a unique 'Carbide Clean' process to remove any trace of debris that may have originated during manufacturing or transportation, giving you additional peace of mind that your system will run at peak performance.

Protect

When combining HPE TeraPack Media with HPE's Enterprise tape library integrated BlueScale® Encryption Key Management, your data is protected with a straightforward, easily installed solution.

Intelligence and Verification

Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) allows you to proactively manage your tape inventory through simple monitoring of over 40 health statistics.

HPE TeraPack Media assures data integrity using an integrated, intelligent, and comprehensive set of Data Integrity Verification (DIV) tools to verify your data has been properly written to tape.

Ease of Management and Installation

Media is customized with individual tapes unwrapped and pre?applied barcode labels bundled in TeraPack containers, ready for bulk loading. An optional dust cover is available for off-site storage in archive.

TeraPack architecture utilizes 3D space within the library frame increasing density per square foot. Additionally, each robot operation can can move up to 10 tapes at a time.

Key Features

Reliable Offline Medium that Creates an Air Gap to Keep Data Out of the Reach of Cybercriminals

Agencies such as the US FBI recommend keeping data offline. This is because tapes that are stored offline are disconnected from the network and are out of reach of sophisticated criminals who use digital networks to strike at companies to encrypt both their primary data and their backups.

Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (LTO-5 to LTO-9) allows you to provide additional security for data stored on tape. With LTO encryption (strengthened by the option to use WORM cartridges), even if tapes were to fall into the wrong hands, your data would be protected from unauthorized access.

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring.

First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership for Long-term Archiving

According to a white paper from ESG, 'The Economic Benefits of HPE StoreEver as Active Archival Storage', published in August 2020, LTO tape technology is over 80% less expensive across a 10-year period, than either all-disk or all-cloud solutions for a 1 PB archive growing at 10% per annum.

Standardizing on HPE LTO Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable read-write (RW) or WORM media, without extra space or IT resource overhead.

Open standard technology helps ensure compatibility across product generations and gives you more choice. HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges are available as custom labeled or non-custom labeled.

HPE brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo.This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data.

HPE warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years archival life. This ensures businesses can meet the ever-increasing demands of regulation for data retention and archiving.

Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology

HPE LTO-9 Ultrium data cartridges can write or read data at a blistering 3.6 TB/hour, storing, encrypting, and protecting up to 45 TB on a single cartridge, making it ideal for large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments (capacity assumes 2.5:1 compression).

A 35% increase in the number of tracks and a 3% increase in bit density has permitted a capacity increase from 30 TB for LTO-8 to 45 TB for LTO-9. From 2,176 tracks for LTO-6 to 8,960 tracks for 9th generation HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45 TB cartridges (assuming 2.5:1 compression) - an improvement of 311%
